Chance For Big Step

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

February 9, 1989

America has the opportunity to take a big step toward affirming the belief that human life is sacred. The U.S. Supreme Court could set aside Roe vs. Wade in that it has agreed to hear Webster vs. Reproductive Health Services.

Since 1973, when abortion on demand was decriminalized in the United States, there have been been 23 million abortions. A society that denies unborn babies their right to life cannot call itself civilized.

The Supreme Court decides what is correct and what is incorrect. But no matter what the court decides, we all have to account for our behavior before the tribunal of God.
